rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author jbfishman - Just a reminder that this machine uses way less water than the top loaders so you need way less soap and should use the new high efficiency soap instead of regular detergent. Too long a cycle could be from the water sensor detecting too much soap...

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author tsnider - After 4 years the main bearing on our Duet went out just like our Maytag Neptune did before that. Whirlpool won't acknowledge there's a problem and won't pay the $400+ for labor to repair the machine even though there's clearly a design / manufacturing /...
